Pender (1-11) plays host to Clarkson/Leigh (5-5) on Saturday.
The Patriots won 55-35 at Tekamah-Herman on Saturday of last week.
The Pendragons are definitely capable and up to the task of beating Clarkson//Leigh they just have to close out the game better.
Pender has to play the way they did the first 3 quarters in each of their last three games in the 4th quarter of Saturday's game.
I don't know if the Pendragons tense up and get nervous or what the deal is, but Pender has to find a way to finish games.
Pender is a much better team than their record and could easily have quite a few more wins right now.
A win on Saturday would perhaps spark and ignite a little bit of a run so let's see if the Pendragons can find a way to win.

Pender (12-3) plays host to Class C-2, No. 1 Clarkson/Leigh (13-0) on Saturday.
The Patriots won 59-29 at Tekamah-Herman on Saturday of last week.
The Pendragons slayed one giant in North Bend Central, can they do it again on Saturday?
I think so.
And here's why:
I feel that Pender is a bit more dynamic offensively than the Patriots.
Clarkson/Leigh plays great defense, but so do the Pendragons and so did the Tigers.
The Patriots struggle to put up a lot of points at times and North Bend Central had an off game last Friday.
The Patriots could very well win, but if Ashley Ostrand can get going then Pender might get it done.
It should be a great game either way for sure.
